Weaving instructions:
Back piece: Start 148 stitches with a 14 gauge needle, weave 30 double threads, replace with a 13 gauge needle, and add 3 stitches. The back piece has a total of 151 stitches, woven 144 rows, divided into shoulder loops, 2 stitches on each side, and 4 rows of flat stitches. Use the small swallow needle collection method to collect every 4 rows, collect 7 stitches every 4 rows, 14 stitches, a total of 28 stitches, and add the 4 stitches that have been collected. At this time, there are still 119 stitches in the back piece. Divide the shoulder loop and weave 80 rows, leaving the back collar. Leave 41 stitches in the middle, and 39 stitches on each of the 2 shoulders. Collect 2 stitches every 2 rows near the collar, and collect every 2 rows every 2 rows. 1 stitch, weave another row, leaving 36 stitches on the back shoulder. At this point, the back piece is divided into 85 rows and hung on the shoulder.
Front piece: Start with 148 stitches using a 14 gauge needle and weave 30 rows of double threads. Replace with 13 gauge needle and add 3 stitches. The back piece has a total of 151 stitches. The front piece is woven in a diamond pattern, with 30 stitches for each pattern. 30 * 5=150 stitches, and 1 stitch is symmetrical. Therefore, 151 stitches are needed. Start with 144 rows and weave 2 stitches on each side. Weave 4 rows of flat stitches. Use the small swallow needle collection method to collect every 4 rows, 7 stitches, 14 stitches, and a total of 28 stitches are collected. Add the 4 stitches that have been collected. At this time, there are still 119 stitches in the back piece, and the front piece is divided into 48 rows for shoulder hanging. 13 stitches in the front collar, starting with 3 stitches in every 2 rows, 2 stitches in every 2 rows, 1 stitch in every 2 rows, and 1 stitch in every 2 rows~~At the end, there are also 36 stitches in the shoulder. When the number of rows after hanging the shoulder is about 85, start sewing with the back shoulder.
Collar: I selected 152 knitted rows with reverse stitches and 5 flat stitches on the front, flipped over and also selected 151 knitted rows with 5 stitches on the bottom edge. Combine these 2 layers into one layer, add 17 stitches evenly, and weave double threads of 5 inches. Finally, sew them into the machine edge. On the sleeve, I started with a 14 gauge needle and started with 80 stitches, then knitted 30 rows. I added 3 stitches and made 83 stitches. I put in 17 stitches and ended with 117 stitches. I also collected 2 stitches on each side and knitted 4 rows of flat stitches. Starting with the Little Swallow’s needle collection method, I collected every 4 rows. I collected 14 stitches and finally collected them all. After the sweater was knitted, the black diamond shaped pattern was sewn on according to the pattern of the sweater. As a friendly reminder, the thread used for embroidery should be thinner than the thread used for knitting, preferably half of the thread used for knitting. This is how the sweater is embroidered. The place won’t feel hard or uncomfortable to touch~~~~~
